Tear the bread with a fork and place it on a small plate next to it or on the edge of a large plate. This sentence is wrong.
Bread in Western food is mostly placed in a bread basket for guests to pick up, and is rarely placed individually on each guest's bread plate. If the bread basket is at your place, you should first take a piece of bread and pass it to the guest on the left, then take your own piece of bread, and then pass the bread basket to the guest on the right. After the guest on the right has taken the bread, he passes the bread basket to the right, and so on.
If the bread in the bread basket is not cut well, you can cut a few slices yourself. Likewise, give the sliced ??bread to the guest on the left first, then yourself, and then pass the bread basket to the guest on the right. But be careful not to touch the bread directly with your hands when cutting the bread. You can use the tablecloth in the bread basket to hold the bread and then use a public table knife to cut it into slices.
The basic way of eating Western food is to hold the knife on the right and the fork on the left. When eating food such as large steaks, cut the food piece by piece and try to avoid making a harsh sound when the knife and fork collide with the plate. When eating salad, if you encounter large lettuce leaves, you can cut them into small pieces with a knife at a time, but you cannot cut the entire salad into small pieces before eating.
In general Western restaurants and cafeterias, there are usually no more than three sets of knives and forks placed on the table. Western restaurants will equip you with three sets of knives and forks. The knives and forks have different specifications, and their sizes are also different according to different uses. When eating meat, use a large knife regardless of whether you want to cut it with a knife.
Western Dining Etiquette
Some high-end restaurants in Western countries usually have two menus. One has a price list, while the other does not. When ordering, the waiter will give the menu with the price to the man, or the host; while the menu without the price will be given to the woman, or the guest. The purpose of this is to allow women or guests to order food without any worries and order whatever they want.
Compared with Chinese food, there is not so much etiquette in Western food. You will not order a table of dishes to eat together, or pick up food for others. When eating Western food, everyone only orders his own, and it is also difficult to eat Western food. Only eat your own. If you want to taste other people's dishes, you should tell the waiter in advance, and the waiter will divide the dish into 2 portions in the kitchen for you to taste.
